PREFACE. 

SOME  years  ago  the  author  of  this  Word  List,  being 
convinced  that  spelling  learned  incidentally,  by  absorp- 
tion, was  a  failure,  prepared  a  list  of  words  for  use  in  the 
schools  under  his  supervision  without  any  intention  of 
making  a  "  spelling  book,"  but  repeated  calls  for  the  list 
have  induced  him  to  make  it  available  by  publishing  it. 

When  used  according  to  the  author's  plan  it  is  not 
merely  a  speller,  but  an  elementary  word  study,  although 
not  expected  to  take  the  place  of  a  dictionary  in  the 
upper  grades. 

The  list  contains  over  seven  thousand  of  the  commonest 
words  of  our  language,  graded  according  to  their  "con- 
tent "  rather  than  according  to  their  length,  and  arran 
in  groups  adapted  to  a  definite  plan  outlined  under  "  Sug- 
gestions to  the  Teacher."  A  large  per  cent,  of  the  words 
are  key  words,  or  words  which  present  the  difficulties  of  a 
whole  group  of  words.  For  example,  if  one  masters  the 
spelling  and  meaning  of  prove  and  is  familiar  with  a  few 
common  prefixes  and  suffixes,  he  has  the  key  to  more 
than  forty  forms — proved,  proving,  approve,  approval,  disap- 
prove, disapproval,  improve,  improvement,  reprove,  rep- 
ingly,  etc. — which  need  not  be  included  in  his  spelling 
list.     Of  course,  any  one  of  the  derived  forms  could  have 


4  PREFACE. 

been  used  ju-t  as  well  as  the  word  prove.  Thus  it  is  ap- 
parent that  .in  immense  amount  of  needless  repetition 
has  been  avoided.  It  one  will  master  the  seven  thou- 
sand words  presented  in  this  list  he  will  have  command 
<>f'  over  twenty-five  thousand  words. 

I  or  convenience  in  finding  any  desired  word  of  a  grade, 

the  words  arc  given    in    alphabetical    order,   except  where 

homonyms  and  woi         isily  confounded  have  been  sepa- 

1.     Moreover,   the  speller,  being  the  first  reference 

k  placed  in  the  hands  of  pupils,  should  be  arranged  for 

each  grade  on  the  general  plan  of  books  of  reference,  so 

that  while  referring  to  the  word  list   for  the  spelling  of 

such  words  as  they  have    forgotten,   they  may  uncon- 

msly  h-arn  how  to  use   the  dictionary,   which    comes 

two  or  three  years  later. 

For  the  convenience  <»f  schools  havingnine  grades  and 

of  teachers  desiring  to  assign  more  than  twenty  words  a 

k,  a  thousand  words,  arranged  in  groups  of  twenty-five, 

given  in  the  <  ighth  and  supplementary  lists. 

The  most  difficult  words  of  each  grade,  except   of  the 

first   and    last,    arc   repeated   at    the  end    of    the    assignment 

for  each  year.      Many  words  not  likely  to  be  misspelled 
introduced  in  order  that   the  pupil  may  add    them    to 
his  \ o<  abulary. 

In  the  upper  grades  a  few  helpful  rules,  with  brief  li 
of  p  and  miIi  ;a\  e  been  introdu(  i  d. 

•  that  the  spelling  of  proper  names  should  be 
learned  when  ary  in  connection  with  the  lessons  in 

which  they  occur,  the  author  has,  with  few  exccptii 

luded  th-  in  from  this  '     \ 

In  his  opinion,  the  words  should  be  pr<  I  to  the 


PREFACE.  5 

eye  of  the  learner  without  diacritical  marks.  In  this 
edition  of  "The  Ouincy  Word  List"  the  words  arc  di- 
vided into  syllables  and  have  the  primary  accent. 

Many  words   are  pronounced  one  way  when   used 
verbs  and  another  way  when  used  as  nouns  or  adjectivi  -. 
This  difference  is  shown   by  placing  one  form   in   small 
type  immediately  under  the  other  and   by  indicating  the 
part  of  speech  by  (v),  verb  ;  (n),  noun  ;  and  (a),  adjective.

SUGG]  STIONS  TO  THE  Tl  ACHER. 

R  i  member  that  spelling  should  be  carefully  and  system- 
atically taught ;  that  only  a  fewwords  should  be  assigned 
for  a  lesson ;  and  that  too  many  other  things  should  not 
be  taught  at  the  same  time. 

I  -M  >>.  — Aim  not  only  to  secure  correct  spelling,  but  the 
irporation  « •  f  the  words  into  the  pupil's  working  vocab- 
ulary.    The  teacher  should  not  be  satisfied  with  merely 
the  correct  arrangement  <>f  letters  in  a  word,  but  should 

help  the  pupil  to  its  accepted  meanings  and  intelligent  use. 

The  Order  oi  mi  ps. — In  teaching  a  new  word  the 
sequence  should  be  as  follows:  i.  Its  form  written  or 
printed  without  division  into  syllables  and  without  dia- 
critical marks.  A  conect  visual  image  is  the  beginning 
of  correct  spelling.  Marks  ami  divisions  into  syllables 
change  the  form  or  appearance  of  tin-  word. 

j.  The  correct  pronunciation.  If  necessary,  present  the 
word  properly  divided  and  marked  upon  the  blackboard; 

then  erase  it.      One  dors  not  know  a  word  until  he  re< 
nizes  it  in  its  usual  form  and  can  pronounce  it  accurately 
without  the  aid  of  division  or  marks.     In  the  use  of  words, 
whether  in  speaking,  reading  or  writing,  he  will   have  no 
such  aids.       In  this   connection    give    such    instruction    in 

syllabication  and  diacritical  marking  as  may  be  needed, 
.md  call  attention  to  words  which  are  pronounced  one  wax- 
when  ii  bs  and  another  way  when  used  as  nouns 
01  adjecth  tl;  sut  <  >> 
sionally  have  a  pronouncii          t,  usin                that  have 
taught. 
3.   The  meaning  which  should            arlyin  the  pupil's 
mind  before  1.                          tell  the  word.     The  form  and 
hould  I"                  l  o instantly.             h  pupils 
of   the  fifth                  i  above  not   only  the  commonest 
of  each  word,  but  lead  them  todiscovei  m  nonyms 


SUGGESTIONS  TO  THE  TEACHER.       7 

and  antonyms,  being  careful  to  explain  shades  of  difference 
between  synonymous  words.  The  meaning  of  a  word  is 
made  more  definite  not  only  by  comparing  it  with  words 
of  similar  meaning,  but  also  by  comparing  it  with  those  of 
opposite  meaning. 

4.  The  arrangement  of  letters,  if  peculiar  or  likely  to  be 
mistaken;   otherwise  say  nothing  about  the  arrangement. 

5.  Practice  in  writing  the  word  with  its  meaning  in  mind. 
METHODS. — The  following  have  been  found  good:     1. 

On  Monday  write  neatly  and  clearly  upon  the  blackboard 
in  front  of  the  class  twenty  words  in  groups  of  five,  and 
teach  the  first  five.  On  Tuesday  dictate  these  to  the  class 
for  spelling  and  teach  the  next  five,  and  so  on  through  the 
week.  On  the  next  Monday  review  the  twenty  words  of 
the  preceding  week  and  place  twenty  new  words  on  the 
board.  By  this  plan  the  words  are  before  the  eyes  of  the 
pupils  a  week — long  enough  to  make  their  forms  familiar. 

2.  After  the  first  three  months,  the  words  of  the  first 
grade  may  be  used  as  lists  to  be  copied,  for  busy  work  in 
word-building,  and,  during  the  last  half-year,  for  practice 
in  oral  spelling. 

3.  Above  the  second  grade  the  spelling  lesson  should 
usually  be  written.  The  recitation  may  be  conducted 
in  various  ways,  among  them  the  following:  a.  1  he 
teacher  dictates  the  words  and  the  pupils  write  them  as  a 
test.  b.  The  teacher  dictates  the  words  and  the  pupils 
write  sentences  involving  the  correct  use  <>t  the  words. 
c.  The  teacher  dictates  sentences  involving  the  correct  use 
of  the  words  and  the  pupils  write  them.  Theb<  ible 
dictation  exercises,  and  the  only  ones  of  much  practical 
use  in  spelling,  are  those  given  by  the  teacher  who  finds 
an  abundance  of  good  material  in  local  incidents,  01: 
events,  and  the  various  lessons  of  the  day.  Such  dictation 
exercises  help  to  correlate  the  school  work  and  t"  connect 
the  school  with  the  outside  world.  They  have  some 
meaning  and  fit  into  the  day's  work. 

4.  Every  few  weeks  there  should  be  a  general  review  of 


8  SUGGESTK  >NS   T<  »   THE    TEACHER. 

the  words,  or,  at  least,  the  most  difficult  words,  taught 
during  the  ye« ir.  This  may  be  either  written  or  oral, 
asionally,  however,  it  i>  well  to  have  a  good,  old- 
fashioned  <>r.il  "spelling  match."  notice  of  which  should 
given  several  days  in  advance.  No  pupil  should  be 
allowed  a  second  trial  in  case  he  misses  the  fust  time. 
There  should  be  no  guessing  .  The  pupils  should  be  held 
onsible  in  their  written  work  for  the  correct  spelling 
of  all  words  which  have  appeared  in  their  spelling  lessons. 
Until  dictionaries  are  provided,  a  child  having  forgotten 
the  spelling  of  a  word  should  he  taught  to  look  it  up  in 
the  word  list.  In  this  way  he  will  not  only  form  the  habit 
of  looking  up  words  when  uncertain,  but  will  also  uncon- 
sciously learn  how  to  use  the  dictionary  and  other  hooks 
arranged  in  alphabetical  order. 

5.  In  the  upper  grades,  after  some  instruction  in  regard 
to  prefixes  and  suffixes,  the  teacher  should  he  at  liberty  to 
dictate  derivatives,  instead  of  the  words  given  in  the  lesson. 

There  should  be  much  practice  in  forming  from  simple 
woid-,  by  means  of  prefixes  and  suffixes  as  many  con 
derived  forms  as  possible,  also  in  reducing  derivatives  to 

the  simple-  word-,  from  which  they  came. 

1  h<  re  should  be  some  pra<  ti<  e  in  etymology,  but  do  not 
attempt  too  much,  as  pupils  are  prepared  for  only  the  mosl
